Boat Hire Without a Skipper or License
This is a wonderful option for taking family and friends out on the water, with you at the helm. Bareboats are small, easy to navigate, and don’t require a skipper or a license, making them ideal for anyone looking to captain their own adventure.

Sailing Boat Rentals
Including a sailing boat rental among your things to do is highly recommended. These well-equipped boats are perfect for a relaxed day out on the sea, with features that enhance your journey.

Smaller sailboats typically accommodate around 12 passengers, and we’re happy to adjust the plan to fit your group’s preferences. Simply message us on WhatsApp to discuss customization options.
Sailing trips offer a chance to enjoy privacy with loved ones. You can also stop at favorite diving spots and snorkel in the area’s crystal-clear waters, discovering the region’s rich marine biodiversity.
Here are two of our recommended sailboat options:
